Default Problem #2

Well I replaced the saprk plug tube gaskets, the valve cover gasket, (refer to Leaky Valve Cover) and all that went smoothly. But after I got everything put back together, and took it out for a drive, and after about 10miles or so, it started shaking, and vibrating below 2000 rpm, in any gear. A friend told me its the struts, and that his 240sx, and RX7 do the same.....so help me out again. Thanks

At any traveling speed it vibrates or the engine vibrates below 2000?

Struts don't do that that I've ever experienced. I'm not sure what it could be, but I'm almost possitive it's not the struts. Good luck with it.

sounds to me like it's running on 3 cylinders. Check to make sure one of your spark plug boots didn't pop off.

Blown shocks will not cause the car to vibrate or shake.

92+ civics don't have struts anyways, they're shocks, not the old school McPherson strut setup with torsion bars anymore...

Yeah sounds like three cyl. It would also idle very poorly with 3 cyl.

Well, I know everyone has done this before so check it out...

Make sure that each wire is connected to the proper spark plug to its correspondent cylinder.
